About this web site

The Freeware Hall of Fame (what's freeware?) began life as a collection of
free computer programs circulated around the world by mail. Later it became a dial-up
computer bulletin board promoting and distributing free software.
In the mid-1990s Boardwatch Magazine named it one of the world's 25 best BBSs.

When the BBS era passed we opened the web site FREEWAREHOF.ORG
on 3/26/1997 at 5 AM, with FHOF sharing the site with the writings of
the man who gave us the Great American Email©, Rey Barry.

This site has a Table of Contents with links to more than 60 of our features.
There are also 222 exciting photos and images like the six super models below.
